Don (the "Questioner") and Larson met at some point and became friends. Apparently, Ra picked up on these terms and used them extensively in the material. It took me about 10 years to understand the RS well enough to see the elegant simplicity in it, and the explanative potential it possessed. Larson mainly focused on "1st density", but a posthumous book "Beyond Space and Time" was published that kind of extrapolated the concepts into more speculative, metaphysical realms.
Space and time are two sides of the same coin, just like yin and yang (in fact "space" is the "yang" and "time" is the "yin"). But they are intrinsically, actually the exact same thing. It's only our psychological perspective that gives them their perceived qualities. One aspect is made distinct and relatable only by ignoring the qualities of the other, and this is the primary psychological duality here (thought itself is necessarily dual here).

So 2nd-density "magnetism" may have some properties or qualities that we might associate with "mind" or "life". Maybe the so-called "etheric energies" are of this nature?ether generally means astral but Ra uses etheric body to denote the time/space equivalent 6d body as far as i remember. also, they say that when entities die, immediately formmaker indigo body activates, and the entity stays in this body until 'ether is penetrated'.
When I think of "etheric", I think of that energy that operates just above the physical, for example what is imaged with Kirlian photography - the subtle body layer just above the neurological. It also seems to be an energy that is easily created and molded by thought and influences or patterns the way things are manifested in the physical.
